Making Stories From Captured Images

A screen printed motion picture project. Made on wood panels, its individual frames are hung in flexible and versatile configurations on the gallery wall(s). Abandoning the visual illusion of motion moves the motion picture concept back to the pre-cinema photography of Eadweard Muybridge. Presenting every frame simultaneously allows these short, connected stories to proceed through time and space in non-linear fashion. The material properties of the imprint itself become part of the narrative qualities of the story, and vice versa.
